Be Happy Where You Are
May 22nd, 2009 by autoPiloting
Lately I’ve been itching to get away from home for awhile. I want to pick up and move to a foreign country or sell all my stuff and go backpacking until I find a new place to settle down. The problem is that I know that I’m not going to be any happier anywhere else than I am here. What I’ve learned over time is that you need to learn to be happy where you are.
This isn’t to say that there aren’t great places in the world to see. It’s true that I might be happier for awhile in Honolulu Hawaii or Banff Canada. But ultimately I think I’d find that there are the same things to do in Banff or Honolulu as there are here.
The problem is really that I’m restless. I’m frustrated with my own inability to just chill out and figure out what’s going on with my moods. I’m not sure what my next step is in life and it’s hard to just sit still and deal with that so I want to go somewhere else. I think it’s better to learn to be happy with myself here though. Then I can go on vacation to Banff or Hawaii and really enjoy the experience!
